You have syntax errors. I recommend using a site like yamllint.com to make
sure your playbooks are valid yaml when you are first getting used to
ansible syntax.
Try this instead
---
- name: database playbook
hosts: db
tasks:
- name: ensure cloning directory exists
file:
path: /home/ansible/cloning
state: directory
